I just Googled for his name, he might still be among the living. I noted 
a message from him dated November 2008.

Hi Andres,

It seems that SourceForge is going through one of its periodic spasms, 
the downloads page for Qutecsound is blank.

Could you send me the source package (for 0.3.8) via private email ? Or 
is there something else going on with SF this morning ?

Best,

dp

I don't think "All rights reserved" contradicts the LGPL (or any other
free/open) license.  As long as a work is under copyright, the copyright
owners have an exclusive monopoly over the work and I don't think that the
labeling of the work as "all rights reserved" adds to or changes its legal
status, it merely informs people that the copyright holder intends to
exercise their monopoly and exclude everyone who is not a licensee from
doing any of the monopolized actions with that work.  The LGPL works within
this framework: unless a person accepts the license for an LGPL'd work, that
person still has no rights to copy, modify, or distribute the work, thus
"all rights reserved."

That said, while I am reasonably sure that jpff obtained permission from
Maurizio to include his contributions to Csound under the LGPL, I am not
sure that anyone obtained his permission to include his documentation for
the Python opcodes in the manual under the GFDL.  In fact, I have long
wondered about the entire legality of Kevin Conder's placing the manual
under the GFDL.  As far as I know (happy to be corrected), Kevin took the
old Public Csound manual, made some changes to it, and unilaterally decided
to relicense the entire thing under the GFDL without obtaining the
permission of the dozens of people who had contributed to it before him.
(Hopefully, not just sticking my foot in my mouth again ...)

I did not attempt to contact Maurizio as far as I can tell he did not
record any code contribution (looking at Changelog etc).  My records do
not include any reference to his name.
